Just a human hoping for a better future. These are terrifying times. Hopefully, with enough community and empathy, we can build a better, more sustainable world.

That makes sense x.x If they were really worried about it they would halt their data center projects. "Profit above all else" is the only thing on their minds. They already have all the money. They need to chill x.x

Yeah, I've looked into quite a couple of them, and those lobbyists fund both sides. We need people who won't take that dark money and sell their souls to the corporations and billionaires that fund them. We need people who will truly represent and fight for the people.

I'm a student, so thankfully no, but also those cuts won't be applied until 2027. When the government shut down due to the standstill over the BBB, I had to rely on the kindness of neighbors to eat that month. While that happened, the dems decided to cave. We need politicians who will fight for us.

As a disabled individual, I'm on SNAP and Medicaid. I also have done extensive research into lobbyists like AIPAC and who receives payment from them. I don't want someone who represents their lobbyists, corporations, and billionaire funders, I want someone who represents the American people.

A massive diesel spill at a New Jersey data center has dumped roughly 5,000 gallons of fuel into wetlands connected to the Meadowlands. Local officials say a “computer glitch” caused the backup generator system to keep calling for fuel. The diesel entered Anderson Creek,

A data center in New Jersey spilled 5,000 gallons of diesel fuel into a local creek, putting the area’s entire river system at risk. Is it any wonder nearly 70 percent of Americans don’t want a data center in their community?

It's crazy seeing a politician actually do their job. So much has already been done that countless politicians before claimed they couldn't do. I wonder how NYC will look in 5 years time with this kind of superb leadership

He had the same exact facial expression throughout 2 videos and a picture. I don't think he's alive. (His head moves in this video. But it could just be the guy sitting behind him that moved it... Shoulders came in the shot at the perfect time 👀)

His facial features haven't changed at all since they wheeled him out. This is not giving "alive" vibes at all.

Graham died too suddenly for them to plan a way around it. They've been anticipating Mitch. I agree that either way this is messed up, but after watching both videos multiple times, I don't think he's alive... x.x

Is he though? x.x The guy sitting behind him could've just moved the head slightly for the camera x.x (I know this thought is morbid, but I also wouldn't put it past them)

TW: Doesn't even look like he's breathing x.x Is there any evidence that he's moved at all on his own, or are they just moving around a... body? x.x This is disturbing either way, but much more so if the latter

It would be nice to have the economy we had in 2002. I was a kid, but my parents could afford a 5 bedroom house with 4 kids and campground summers as a carpenter and a bartender.

“Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul, all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn't but always has been, arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshipped like gospel. It is America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn't just lose its soul, it shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader.” - Oliver Kornetzke

Of course, at this point in time, we definitely need to prioritize getting the orange and his lacky's out of power. But when looking further, the mess this administration created won't be fixed by someone who doesn't truly represent the people. We need someone on our side, not the billionaires

Onyx Turtle @onyxturnerturtle.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
Have you done your own deep dive on candidates, or do you just vote for anyone against the orange? Trump is just a symptom of a corrupt system, not the root. If we want meaningful changes, we need politicians who actually represent us, not billionaires and corporations

Onyx Turtle @onyxturnerturtle.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
Ask yourself: Did this candidate take lobbyist money and work for the benefit of corporations and billionaires, or do they truly work for the common citizen? Was their platform "If you don't vote for me, you get him?" or did they talk about fixing issues like Healthcare or the housing crisis?

Taking away grey wolf protections is just going to hurt ranchers more down the line. Wolves control the plant eating population so that flora and fauna can flourish. Without them, plant eaters eat too many plants, which hurts the root system and causes landslides, leeched soil, and bare land

I feel like I'm in the closet as nonbinary, but also not. I'll use she/her pronouns and am still nervous about using my chosen gender-neutral name, but I also almost exclusively wear gender neutral clothes and keep my hair short. I've never really felt like I fit into gender normative stuff
